Yesterday,
the bus stop,
all the people's heads
turned, watching.
Gaze of anxiety.
The blind woman tapping
her way forward.
Sheath of feeling. Words groping to touch air.

The anxiety was remarkable, and it wasn't for the woman herself, who was making her way down the street just fine.
twoberry, I love it when you drop by! Sometimes short vignettes do that, are suggestive enough to send one off in a number of different directions, and if you feel I've managed that here, well I'm honoured.
